“ Like a rich, fruity wine, Oliver Stone’s „Alexander“ just keeps on getting better with age. Two years after his director’s cut, Stone has been given an unprecedented third pass at the movie that’s obsessed him for two decades. As he himself says, after the breathing space of „World Trade Center,“ he revisited the material and excavated the picture that was always there.

If the 2004 theatrical „Alexander“ (175 minutes) was a rough but powerful brew uncorked in haste, and the 2005 director’s cut DVD (166 minutes) a much smoother ride, „Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut“ is the whole damned, magnificent vision — a 213-minute journey, complete with intermission, into the heart and soul of a culture and personality. With a freedom he’s never enjoyed, Stone has thrown everything into the pot and shaped it according to the dramatic requirements of the material, period.“ (Derek Elley, Variety)

„Those of you who liked the first Alexander, I think will like this one even more. And those of you who hated ist, I think you’re going to hate it even more!“ (Oliver Stone in : Cineaste, Vol. 32, No.3, p. 85)
